Mayor Ian Beard chaired the meeting. Mayor Ian Beard opened the meeting by explaining to those present that this Public Meeting was to receive public comments with respect to a proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment, under provisions of Sections 34 and 39, of the Planning Act. The applicant has applied to rezone certain lands, Part of Lots 21 and 22, Concession 8, former Township of Oro. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would rezone the lands to allow for a Country Craft and Music Festival for a period of three to five days, for a period of three years, with a potential for a single three year extension. To date, the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Oro- Medonte have not made a decision on this application, other than proceeding to this Public Meeting. only after comments are received from the Public, requested agencies and Township Staff, within the appropriate time period, will Council make a decision on this application. Notice of the Public Meeting was mailed out on May 29, 1996, to all property owners within 400 feet of the subject lands. Notice of the Public Meeting was also placed in both the Barrie Examiner and Orillia Packet and Times on May 29, 1996. Mayor Beard then asked the Clerk if there had been any correspondence received on this matter. The Clerk responded by indicating that correspondence had been received from the Simcoe County District Health Unit indicating they had no objection to this rezoning. U -I A E - 2 - The Mayor then stated that those persons present would be afforded the opportunity of asking questions with respect to the proposed Amendment. He then turned the meeting over to the Andria Leigh, Development Co-ordinator, to explain the purpose and effect of the proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment. Andria Leigh: Thank you Mr. Mayor. As the Mayor has indicated, the purpose of tonights meeting is to obtain public comment with respect to this proposed rezoning application. The property is what I would call south of highway 11 at the 8th Concession line of the former Township of Oro. The black area here is where the proposed rezoning or temporary use would be occurring on the property. The large scale drawing, I have actually oriented the same way, this is Highway 11 and this is the 8th Concession line and this is the subject property in this area which would be used for the temporary use by-law. Essentially, what we are looking for is a temporary use by-law for a period of three years maximum and the permitted use of the property would be a Country Craft and music festival for a period of three to five days in length. Some of the uses that would be occurring within this site would be, country music on different stages, children's events, pony rides and the other area is crafts, arts crafts and antique collectibles is essentially what we would be looking at on this property. Typically, there are some display areas within the lower end of the site and some of the upper areas will be used for parking facilities within the site for this event. The property is presently designated as a special policy area No. 1, which permits two flea markets on the property at this point in time and the property is zoned agricultural exception zone, again for two flea markets at this point in time although Council is aware, we do have other applications on this property but tonight we are strictly dealing with the temporary use by-law for the Country Crafts and Music Festival. I think that is basically my comments at this point in time unless there is anyone in the room that wishes to comment Mr. Mayor. Mayor Beard: If there are questions, would you please come forward and state your name. Are there any questions on this particular issue? Councillor cotton: Thank you Mr. Mayor, through to Andria, would the temporary use zoning, would this be looked after by policy set by the Official Plan Amendment No. 22, does this one need to be resubmitted? Andria Leigh: Through to Councillor Cotton, yes it is one of the permitted uses within that amendment. Councillor Cotton: Supplementary then, is that not the cart before the horse? You will have to first of all deal with the issue of OPA 22 and we are currently dealing with the temporary use by-law and at the same time (inaudible) Andria Leigh: Through to Councillor Cotton, I think the reason that we may be looking at the cart before the horse is that the Official Plan Amendment is on Council's by-law, or I mean agenda for tonight, 4 11 11 - 3 - Andria Leigh: but the present special policy area does allow for temporary events to occur on the property and that is what we are looking at, at this point in time is the temporary event until that amendment is completed. Mayor Beard: Any further questions? Further questions from members of the public? There being no further questions or comments, when being called for the third time, the Mayor in closing the meeting, thanked those in attendance for their participation and advised that Council would consider all matters before reaching a decision. He then advised those present that if they wished to be notified of the passing of the proposed By-law, they should leave their name and address with the Clerk. MOTION NO. 1 Moved by Martin, seconded by Bell Be it resolved that this Special Public Meeting of Council (Part of Lots 21 and 22, Concession 8, (formerly Township of Oro) now be adjourned at 7:46 p.m. CLERK LYNDA AIKEN Carried.
